A few final thoughts on the now past tense 2012 Donation Drive. Additionally, I have an updated list of donors after the bump, so if you just want to go check and make sure your name is on there, you should dash ahead.

First, a thank you. No, seriously, thank you! Obviously, thank you for your financial support, which allows us to continue this experiment now coming on ten years old, but more importantly for the participation, the ownership you guys take in the community, the regular time you take out of your lives to hear our shows, read our articles, comment on topics of the day and keep GWJ a safe haven. We said it at the beginning and we’ll say it again, this site isn’t about us. It’s about you.

The other thing I want to talk about though, is what happens next. So, apparently we’ve got some work to do over the next few months and year, and we have a lot of promises that we are excited to keep. Now we get to start thinking about how we will bring our donors on the podcast. We get to think about if we’re making a magazine whose words would it be very cool to see in that? We get to figure out this whole video thing. We get to get some custom icons made, get Infinite Lives in people’s hands and so on.

To be honest, these are all things we’re really excited to do. We know you’re excited to see the results of your support. So, how’s that going to happen?
